“The Patterns of Interiority exercise deals with the active interpretation of interiority and employs both analog, digital and AI methods of production, furthering the endeavor to test the limits of physical and virtual phenomena. Students are asked to think of interior qualities not constrained by physical boundaries, at varying scales and in diverse contexts."

“These internalized public species are anachronistic and peculiar in nature. They try to provide an adequate space of congregation for humans and non-humans alike and create a methodical mode of interaction between entities. The goal is to define and work with new modes of publicness in an era in which previous forms of leisure and pleasure have been substantially eroded by alternative definitions for interiority, material identity, and what is considered reality.”
